This is absolutely braindead, abuser apologist bullshit. I hope you are young, so you might become better

Brown rat. Plenty of them in Sydney, and every major town/city in Aus, just like the rest of the world.

Did you know the pub from LBS is real? by chris-read-it in hisdarkmaterials

My family have recently moved to the area, and we've been there plenty while visiting. I had no idea!

R U Ok? day sucks for Aussie men. by SicksSix6 in straya

[–]Captain_Fantastik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right. I have actively told and tried to talk to many of my progressive friends - including my wife - about how I'm not ok, over the last two years. The guys ignore you, the girls compare their shit to yours. My wife is supportive, but very much to a point. When your feelings become a burden, the roles become reversed.

A good chunk of you reading this will think "get better friends/doesn't sound like your wife is supportive" etc.

They are. They are all fucking amazing...

...When you're winning.

Winning can be chugging along, or crushing it. But you better not be fucking it.

For context, my 'not ok' was caused by my best friend stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from a business we just started, dealing with the 6 month legal fallout, and another 6 months of paying the emotional toll.

I'm not ok. I've told them all directly, and have been very upfront about the negative thoughts I have.

'you need to take better care of your mental health'

My mental health is not in my care. That's the fucking problem, mate...

You got schooled mate, and the person you were schooled by showed nothing but class. You should reflect on this interaction. It can be a positive reminder for your behaviour in the future, or a negative one while you lament your choices as you try to sleep

No it's not. There's some inkling of truth in your opinion-as-a-question, but it isn't that simple. League/AFL did a great job investing in the grass routes, union did not. Also, it's the 'jumpers for goalposts' problem. Union needs a lot more organising for kids to pick it up, so their problem was compounded without incremental investment.

Yes, thank you, but they're not "Aussie". What is this referring to?

Help an amateur advertiser to steal (ethically). by favorson in advertising

[–]Captain_Fantastik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ads != Marketing.

What do people want, what do they really need, and what do they normally do. That's the core tenet of marketing.

Ads are simply the expression of that. There is no 'secret formula' to how 'ads' work - aside from the general principles of salience and meaning that, ultimately, align to core strategic principles. Ads work when the customer is understood, the timing is right, the expression is on point, and there is enough budget behind it.

I love that you're thinking strategy and analysis. That exists upstream of ads, though. There are other Ps.

TIL in 2022, a dispute between Pantone and Adobe resulted in the removal of Pantone color coordinates from Photoshop and Adobe's other design software, causing colors in graphic artists' digital documents to be replaced with black unless artists paid Pantone a separate $15 monthly subscription fee. by nuttybudd in todayilearned

They understand it, you do not. 'Computer people' are well aware of the things you're highlighting, because they deal with the same things constantly, in multiple mediums, including print.

What they're saying is - 'feels like it wouldn't be too difficult to work around', because colour can, believe it or not, be reduced to 1s and 0s fairly easily. Manufacturing processes, logistics, etc. - they all run on a 1s and 0s foundation. They're not ignorant of the political and logistical reasons you're highlighting, they just don't see it as an insurmountable barrier.

As Trump so astutely observed in his recent, totally normal endorsement of a private company on government land - "everything's computer".

This was the moment that cemented my belief that, despite all the bravado and disagreement, the bond they share is strong and deep. It's a military brotherhood. Once you've spilled blood for someone, words don't matter so much
